Muffins...
1-1/2 cups flour; sifted
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1-1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup shortening
1 egg; lightly beaten
1/2 cup milk
1 cup tart apples; peeled, cored & grated
Topping...
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup pecans; chopped
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
For muffins, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon into mixing bowl. Cut in shortening with pastry blender until fine crumbs form. Combine egg and milk. Add to dry ingredients all at once, stirring just enough to moisten. Stir in apples.
Spoon batter into paper-lined 2-1/2" muffin pans, filling cups 2/3 full. Combine topping ingredients and sprinkle evenly over muffins. Bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
